The scene of today's horror was Santana High School in this suburb of
San Diego. Ambulances and police vehicles raced to the school responding
to reports of gunshots. What they found was a scene repeated all too
often... students down and bleeding, some unresponsive.
Police searched parked cars for possible gunmen, but authorities say
there was only one shooter. Witnesses say a 9th grader opened fire,
first in a rest room, then in a common area populated by other students.
The young shooter was taken into custody. Some students who knew him
said he was a quiet boy who had boasted of owning a gun. In an interview
for the CBS Evening News, one adult acquaintance the boy was troubled
because others were picking on him. But no one saw this coming.

((Navy Commander Scott Waddle walked into the courtroom with his career on
the line. And his lawyer immediately confronted the Board of Inquiry.
Waddle's attorney says a Japanese advisor should not be allowed to
participate, because he could influence the board without being
cross-examined. But the senior Admiral says the Japanese advisor does
not have a vote, and he can stay.
The victims' families travelled from Japan to hear exactly what happened
to the men and boys aboard the Ehime Maru. Last month 35 people were on
an expedition to teach teenagers how to become commercial fishermen.
When the Navy sub USS Greenville shot to the surface during a training
exercise ..it ripped through the Japanese trawler and sank it. At the
time, the control room was packed with a group of civilians on a tour
..and the Navy also wants to determine if their presence interfered with
the crew's ability to detect ships on the surface.
In his opening remarks, the head of the Board told the families: this
inquiry cannot change what happened, but a more thorough understanding
can help prevent it ever happening again. As commanding offier of the
sub, Commander Waddle says he is prepared to accept responsibility, but
that does not necesarily equate to criminal liablity. Through an email,
he asked everyone to please pray for those lost at sea ..and pray for
me.

((THE FACT THAT COMICS "AREN'T FOR KIDS ANYMORE" IS A STORY THAT'S
ABOUT 15 YEARS OLD.
THE TIDE TURNED IN 1986, WHEN D.C. PUBLISHED THE DARK KNIGHT
RETURNS... BATMAN AS AN AGING, ANGRY VIGILANTE.
THERE WAS ALSO THE WATCHMEN...SUPERHEROES WRITTEN AS REAL PEOPLE
INSTEAD OF GODS.
BOTH SERIES FUELED A COMICS BOOM...WHICH EVENTUALLY BUSTED IN THE
MID-90'S.
BY THEN, TOO MANY NEW BOOKS WERE BEING PUBLISHED WHICH COLLECTORS
COULDN'T GIVE AWAY.
(sot there's 7 million copies of the death of superman came out. how
can they be worth any money?)

HIS NAME IS MICHAEL DRIVAS, OWNER OF BIG BRAIN COMICS IN
MINNEAPOLIS.
TO GUARD AGAINST A BOOM AND BUST INDUSTRY, DRIVAS STOCKS JUST
ENOUGH COPIES OF THE VARIOUS MONTHLY TITLES.
BUT HE ALSO RELIES ON SALES OF TRADE PAPERBACKS...REPRINTS OF
MONTHLY TITLES IN ONE VOLUME.
HE CONSIDERS HIS TRADE PAPERBACKS CANNED GOODS...THE MONTHLY
TITLES, PRODUCE.
(SOT produce you want...there's new stuff coming out, you don't want
any of the old stuff around. it's gonna go bad. canned goods, you
know, it's like you buy 'em and if they ist on the shelf for a couple
extra weeks, it's no big deal.)

DRIVAS SAYS HIS AVERAGE CUSTOMER IS BETWEEN 20 AND 35 YEARS OLD.
40 YEARS AGO, THAT AGE RANGE WAS MORE LIKE 8 TO 17.
BUT THEN AGAIN...
(SOT there's more challenge for that cheap entertainment dollar than
there used to be.)

THAT'S PETER GROSS, PROFESSIONAL COMIC ARTIST.
HE DOESN'T SEE COMICS GOING AWAY..BUT WITH VIDEOGAMES AND MOVIES
AND THE INTERNET...HE KNOWS PUBLISHERS CAN'T AFFORD TO IGNORE KIDS.
THAT'S WHERE MARVEL'S "ULTIMATE" LINE COMES IN.
HERE, THE ORIGINS OF SPIDER-MAN AND THE X-MEN ARE GIVEN A 21ST
CENTURY REBOOT TO ATTRACT YOUNGER READERS.
(SOT-KORSUNSKY "It's a good place for people to start off. So they
don't have to read the last 30 years worth of continuity)

SO FAR, THE "ULTIMATE" LINE HAS BEEN A HIT...WITH MONTHLY ISSUES
SELLING OUT.
BUT TO MAKE SURE KIDS DON'T MISS OUT, MARVEL HAS REPRINTED WHOLE
ISSUES ON ITS WEBSITE FOR FREE.
SO THE OLD STORY THAT "COMICS AREN'T FOR KIDS ANYMORE" TAKES A
2001 TWIST: AT LEAST THE YOUNGER SET...ISN'T BEING BEING TOTALLY
IGNORED.
